Try 4.0 then. It's a deal simpler.

Ah. Do the sheets let you draw your character? I want to do this so much :v

Rofl most of these handicaps dont know what a nerd is or what the difference is between a Geek and a Nerd i am a Geek nerds think they know it all :P

why is it people still buy cards and paper for stuff like this so long after the invention of the computer.

seriously, I'm sure there's a virtual online D&D out there, which I would probably even play if I knew about it.

I just can't take the hit to my dignity that is accepting I'm nerdy enough to play D&D with paper

The way D&D on paper and pencil works could never be replicated on a computer. What makes it so great is that you are face to face, and the way the story is told giving unlimited possibilities.

Well, if you go into 4.0, you can use the online character builder. It makes character creation much quicker, though you only have access to classes/races from PHB I and PHB II, as well as having a max level of 3, unless you subscribe.

And yes, I do believe there is a spot on the standard character sheet where you would draw your character.

Actually, they have some tools to do this online. The problem is that if you have only one computer and your friends are over to play, it would be weird having you and your 6 players all huddled around a single computer.

And as devil said, with paper allows all of you to interact with one another a deal more. It's a kind social gathering that most nerds don't get enough of.

This isn't what I was talking about above, as it's an mmo, not an electronic version of DnD.

I guess what it comes down to is your own likes and dislikes. I'm at least secure enough to go out and have a great time with a group of friends doing something we all enjoy. If DnD doesn't float your boat, I hope you find something that does.

What book was the inventor detailed in? Or was it not 3.5/4.0?
Take Trapmaking as a rogue and get lots of craft skills have a mage in your party enchant when needed

Interesting... May I suggest levels in the Maester Prestiege class found in Complete Arcane, if you're using 3.5?

Why do people think that just because D&D is so complicated it's so nerdy? It's just another board game.

Because of movies.

And what's wrong with what is perceived as "Nerdy"? We don't give them a hard time about liking football (Which is completely pointless in my opinion...)

Yay, a DnD thread! :D
I'm the DM for a few of my friends, but we switch out after each campaign. We're doing a campaign in which they are helping the baron of a city in the mountains defend his barony from orcs and such. That isn't the whole thing though, as two of them play Blockland, and I don't want to give away secret info.

im gonna play dnd with my buds over the summer, gonna be a dwarf cleric >:o

P.S. any little known tips on being a good healer?
